Hello — I'm Dr. Tabrah, a board‐certified psychiatrist providing compassionate, comprehensive psychiatric care. My extensive experience across diverse clinical settings supports a wide spectrum of psychiatric needs. I prioritize understanding your unique journey and collaborate with you to improve well‐being and functioning.

I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, board‐certified in Psychiatry (Cert #51745). I hold active medical licenses in Florida (ME‐76909), Ohio (35‐07‐9156‐T), Kansas (04‐46121), and Missouri (2022014769).

My approach combines thoughtful medication management with brief psychotherapeutic interventions. I create a safe, affirming space to explore concerns and work collaboratively toward your mental wellness goals.

I treat:

  • Mood disorders: depression, bipolar disorder (depressive, mixed, hypomanic states)
  • Anxiety disorders: GAD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, PTSD, OCD
  • Women’s mental health: infertility, pre/postpartum care, perimenopausal concerns
  • Other: sleep disorders, anger/impulse control, LGBTQIA+ mental health, grief/bereavement, substance use, eating disorders, pain/somatoform disorders, cultural/ethnic issues

Expertise: psychopharmacology and treatment across outpatient, inpatient, telehealth, detox/rehab, consultation‐liaison psychiatry, ECT, ketamine, and TMS.

Danielle Kelsey

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults who live with trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD. I draw from ACT, EMDR, embodiment practices, and parts work, and I am neurodivergent‐friendly and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I also have experience supporting clients through psychosis, grief, chronic health issues, spiritual trauma, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

At the core of my work is a belief that every person has the capacity to choose who they become. As Jean‐Paul Sartre wrote, “We are constantly creating ourselves through action.” I see therapy as a space where you can explore that creation with support, clarity, and intention.

Dr. Rebecca Lester

Dr. Rebecca Lester

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience — and a rather unusual background. I also hold a PhD in Cultural Anthropology and have spent more than two decades as a researcher and professor studying the cultural dimensions of mental health. These two worlds are not as separate as they might sound: my scholarly work deeply informs how I listen and how I think about people, and my clinical work keeps my research honest and grounded in real human lives.

What this means in practice is that I pay attention not only to what's happening inside you, but also to the broader landscape that shapes you — your relationships, the institutions you've moved through, the expectations you've absorbed, the identities you inhabit or are still working out.

I specialize in eating disorders, mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety, trauma and PTSD, self-harm, dissociation, and personality disorders. I also have extensive experience with clients navigating identity and relationship questions — including LGBTQIA+ concerns, sexual issues, and alternative relationship structures such as polyamory and consensual non-monogamy. I am kink-affirming and fully inclusive in my practice.

Clients often come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like previous therapy hasn't quite fit — especially deeply reflective people, high-functioning professionals, and anyone who feels "out of step" with conventional models of health or recovery. My goal is never to fit you into a predefined model of what "well" is supposed to look like. It's to help you better understand yourself and build a life that feels genuinely livable, on your own terms.
